The Texas Populists held their

rr * The Kind You Haw Always Bought
THK DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES,
The primary is over, and the
Democratic nominees have been
named. They are worthy men,
and have honestly won first places
for their respective offices. There
may hate been some irregularities
in some of the elections; in fact,
the time will never come when all
the people will do just exactly
right about anything, but this
primary has been as honest and
as fair as any election could pos
sibly be; therefore, there is no
room for complaint at the hands
of any good Democrat. It is the
duty of every Democrat to lo,ally
support the men who were made
the standard bearers of the Demo
cratic party on yesterday. It is
claimed, and justly so m many
instances, that the defeated candi
dates do not show as rnuc l inter
est in Democratic success after
election as before. However, we
do not believe that this can be
true in regard to a single candi
date who participated in yester
day’s primary. Every one of
them is a true democrat, and will
industriously work for the success
of the Democratic ticket. Of
course, there is no danger of thp
defeat of a single Democratic can
didate, yet it behooves the Demo
crats of this county to push their
cause to such complete success
that all opposition will be forever
and eternally buried. Let every
Democrat in the county now be
gin to talk, work and act for an
overwhelming Democratic majori
ty in the next election.
THE CARNIVAL.
The carnival and fair is gone,
and various opinions are expressed
concerning it. To the younger set
at least there was some satifactiou
as well as some information gained
from having seen it. Few had
ever seen an alligator, a three
legged chicken, an educated horse,
or heard the music of the bells.
There was the usual Egyptian for
tune teller, the athlete, the sword
eater, and the omnipresent candy
man. But to the more inquiring,
the war relics and the mineral,
wood aud zoological exhibits were
far more instructive. To those of
us who have grown up since the
war, there was unusual interest in
reading the papers printed dnring
the sixties. There were advertise
ments for the sale of negroes, and
the epithets hurled by the editors
both North and South indicate
the bitterness <f the struggle.
There were “soldier Bibles,” and
tracts warning the soldier boys
against intemperance. And there
was a letter from a fond mother
to her darling boy who had shoul
dered his musket for his home and
country.
Those who saw and read these
things will not regret their com
ing to the carnival.
THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.
Wednesday, last week, was a
glad day for Lawrenceville. From
every nook and corner of the coun
ty the people come to the Carnival
and to the Confederate re-union.
At 10:80 o’clock the Confederate
veterans met in the court house
and attended to the arrangement
of a program and any other busi
ness brought before them. The
chief event of the day was a pa
rade through the principal streets
by uhe veterans, led by the Carni
val baud. Twenty-five hundred
people lined the sidewalks and
cheered the soldiers as they kept
step to the inspiring strains of
Dixie. The Confederate flag float
ed proudly at the head of the col
umn, and six or eight large ban
ners were borne by the soldiers on
which were printed the names of
the great battles of the war, such
as Gettysburg, Vicksburg and
Chi kamaugua.
These soldiers have known ser
vice on many a hard-fought battlo
field. They are living examples
of the finest soldiery that were
ever marshalled by the god of war,
and as they marched through the
streets last Wednesday morning it
was not hard to look back thirty
years ago when they were following
Lee and Jackson and Johnson in
the bloodiest war of the century.
Leaving home in the very prime of
early manhood, they gave all their
efforts to the cause of the South ;
but overwhelmed by superior num
bers, they at last furled their flag
and returned to their homes
The South was decimated, devas
tated and almost ruined. But
gullant soldiers as they were iu
battle, they were no less noble and
brave in the urts of peace. They
went to work on the ruins of the
South, and from the ashes of the
old has sprung the splendid struct
ure of the New South.
All honor to the noble Confed
erate soldier, and may his children
be as brave in war and as gallant
in peace.

SMALL CROPS.
Every farmer in this c< unty,
that intends to succeed, must learn
that it doesn't pay to plant too
large crops. In traveling over the
connty it can be gee that those
farmers, who have planted small
crops, that is in proportion to
their force, and have worked them
as well as opportunity would al
low, have as good chances for a
full crop as usual at this time of
the year. Where laige crops have
been planted it has been impos
sible to keep them clean, and con
sequently nothing but failure can
be expected.
Let the farmers of this county
learn a lesson from this year, and
henceforward only plant, as much
as can be well prepared, well fer
tilized, and well cultivated. By
farming upon this plan, less work
will have to be done, the land can
be better taken care of, and more
money will b > realized for what is
marketed.
The advicp given by Hon. W. S.
Witham, which was published by
request in nearly all the news
papers of the state, to plant every
thing in cotton, even the fence
corners, lias proven to be very
bad. The farmers have hardly
had opportunity to cultivate ordi
nary crops, let alone large ones.
Even if the seasons suit for the
cultivation of large crops, it pays
better to plant only as large crops
as can be easily cultivated.
If the Lord hadn’t sent His
heavy rains to damage the great
crop of cotton planted this year,
and a fall crop should be made,
this fall cotton would not be
worth five cents a pound.
Let the farmers give more at
tention to this important matter
of planting crops which they will
be able to cultivate well whether
there is much rain or not, and
there will not be so much com
plaint about seasons.
MERCER DEFEATED.
Last week in an oratorical con
test at Monteagle, Tennessee, Mer
cer University was defeated. All
the leading colleges of the South
were represented, and the contest
was exciting all the way through.
Mark Bolding represented Mercer,
and he lost by only three-fifths of
a point. He was just up from n
spell of sickness, and during the
delivery of his speech faltered
twice, which lost him the honor.
Life’s Possibilities.
This grand, beautiful life of ours
is full of glorious possibilities. Not
one alone to the great, wealthy
and the wise,but to ail. Everyone
was designed by the Creator of the
Universe, to fulfill a noble partin
his or her own sphere in life. All
of us oannot become great, in our
general acception of the term. Our
names may never be written on
tlie broad pages of history among
uoted characters of earth, yet they
may be written upon the hearts of
those whom it is our privilege to
serve in every-day life.
Our sphere in life may appear
very narrow, our opportunities for
doing good, very limited, still we
should not be discouraged. There
are golden opportunities lying all
around us if we will but take the
trouble to find them. There are
those who need our help, our sym
pathy. Let us do the duty nearest
us and not be continually looking
out some great thing to do. And
if it should happen that we are not
placed in positions of great public
trust, we can work out God’s plan
as successfully in a more quiet
way. He does not demand of ns
more thau we are capable of doing.
But he does expect of us to make
the most of life, to employ the
talonta he has given us. If we had
no use for our talents we may be
sure that they never would have
been given to us, and in that
“Great Day”, we shall surely be
called to account for the manner
ir. which we have used them.
Our career may not be that of
an eagle with the strong wings
soaring abov the storm into the eye
of the sun, yet it may be the fight
of a lark shaking the morning dew
from its wings and carroling its
song in the nether air. Yet,
whether it be that of the eagle or
lark, success crowns him who
meets life and embraces its possi
bilities.—Exchange

Empress and Li Hung Chang.
Kuan Foy, a scholarly Chinese
merchant, and one of the most
prominent members of his race,
yesterday told the history of
the romantic rise of the Emprers
Dowager from 'he lot of a slave
girl, and of her first meeting with ;
Li Hung Chang while he was a
poor sailor lad on a river boat and ■
she was on her way in bondage to
the imperial city in which she rose
to supreme power.
Now,the resident manager of Yu
Lung & Co , a large importing firm
KuanFoy,in his native land of mys
tery and millions, was a military
official. So far as maybe iu his
own words his story of the Empress
and the statesman is here repeated
“Tuen, the Dowager Empress
of China, was once a slave. Her
story is strange, and one of the
most remarkable features of it is
that Li Hung Chang, China's
greatest man,was at the same time
a rough, ignorant sailor lad, earn-
ing a living on one of the boats of
the Huu-Ho, and that to the slave
girl fell the chance of rewarding
him for a very brave deed. Strange
indeed, that these two met by
chance while both were iu obscuri
ty should rise to play two such dis
ferent and important parts in what
promises to be the last scene of
the drama of the Chinese Empire,
or at least of the Manchurian dy
nasty. The events of the past year
point with ceitainfinger to the end.
‘'Tuen, being a girl child of a
Manchurian low grade official,
suffered the contumely of Ch'nese
females. However, her feet were
not bound, and to this fact, a
seemingly minor circumstance,
the great things in Chinese history
for the last fifty years are due.
[f her feet had been bound she
would never have risen from slav
ery to the rule of the empire
“A rebellion in her father's
Yameu district rendered her fam
ily destitute,and though but eleven
years of age she petitioned her
father to sell heaas a slave so that
her brother might be educated and
her mother fed . Her father con
sented sold her to the then viceroy
of his district, and little Tuan pas
sed away from her family, never
to know them again until years
later her agents sought out her
brother and she took him to live
inside the Imperial city, though
she could not take him within the
Purple Forbidden city. He wa9
made a Manchurian prince and
received great estates.
“Soon after she was taken into
the Viceroy’s household she heard
her master mention an elaborate
tunic he had seen at court. She lis
tened to bis description of its elab
orate embroidery, and twelve
mouths later her child's hands
had finished one which was a dnp
licate by description. The Viceroy
was astonished and asked her to
uame any wish she had and it
should be granted.
“She hesitated, and then, kneel
ing at hisfeet, begged to be taught
to read He told her that it was
impossible for a girl to learn to
read. She said it was not her fault
that she was born a girl, and that
the gods had been cruel to her.
The Viceroy was so impressed with
her request, however, that he sent
for masters to begin instructing
her, aud to his astonishment they
found she already knew much and
was well along, self taught. She
masterered Manchu, Mongol aud
Chinese and there are some who
say that in the last ten years she
has added Enlish secretly.
“The Viceroy was very proud of
his clever little slave, aud as she
was developing into a comely dam
sel he sent her as a complimen
tary gift to the Emperor She
became the favorite slave of the
father of the present Emperor,
and when his mother, the Emperi
al consort, died she became the
Empress and saw tc. his bringing
up, and was r< gent of the empire
following her husband’s dealh uu
til she took the reins of g vern
ment from Kwing-Su s hands, less
than two years ago.
“While she was ou her way to
Pekin occurred the iucideut in
which Li Hung Chang figured. The
party conveying the pietty little
slave girl in a sedan chair had
occasion to cross the Hun-Ho riv
er and oue of the young meu fell
off tha boat. He was drowniug.and
Tuan emplored the boatman to
save him, offering a ring Bhe wore
as a reward. Li plunged into the
muddy current, and with a fine
muscular effort saved the drown
ing man. She gave him the ring,
and many years afterward recog
nized it on the hand of an official
who came to court.
He had won his way up through
fourteen degrees of officialdom,
and since she was Empress regent
a ndhad fouud him he was very
quickly advanced to the first place
of the land.
Australia has had a controversy
over the right of members of Par
liament to take service in the
army, which recalls the case of
Gen. Wheeler. Iu the Australian

was promptly declared vacant.

SAVED BY MRS. PINKHAM.
[LEIfIS TO M&S. TIKXBAM SO. 79896]
“You have saved my life, snatched
me from the brink of the grave almost,
and I w ish to thank you. About eigh
teen months ago I was a total wreck,
physically. I had been troubled with
leucorrhica for some time, but had given
hardly any attention to the trouble.
“ At last inflammation of the womb
and ovaries resulted aud then 1 suf
fered agonies, had to give up my pro
fession (musician and piano player),
was confined to my bed and life became
a terrible cross. My husband sum
moned the best physicians, but their
benefit was but temporary at best. I
believe I should have contracted the
morphine habit under their care, if my
common sense had not intervened.
“ One day my husband noticed the ad
vertisement of your remedies and im
mediately bought me a full trial. Soon
the pain in my ovaries was gone. lam
now well, strong and robust, walk,
ride a wheel, and feel like a girl in her
teens. I would not be without Lydia
E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound; it
Is like water of life to me. I am verjf
gratefully and sincerely your well
wisher, and 1 heartily recommend your
remedies. I hope some poor creature
may be helped to healtli by reading my
story.”— Mrs. Cot,. E. P. Richardson,

OBITUARIES.
On July 18th, Mr. John Simmons
Downs departed this life, aged sfi years.
He leaves a wife and seven boys to
mourn his loss. Children, live to meet
him in Heaven, where there is no more
sorrow. He was a good husband and
a kind father; a member of the Baptist
church.
“Good bye, friend and father,
No doubt, you are resting there,
In the home so free from sorrow,
The country that’s bright and fair.”

Died—Saturday, July 21, 1900, little
Lucile Ruth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. R. Mehalfey, aged three years and
three months.
This fair spotless little flower fell
only by chance from an angel’s hand,
who was weaving it in the Savior’s
crown. Nay, hinder it not. He said
’twill serve to brighten earth’s fair
bower. Yes, “it is well with the child,”
and ’tis needless for us to gild with
words the grief of that sorely distressed
mother. Suffice to say to those who
stand with breaking hearts around this
little grave, that the gate through
which she has passed to peace and joy
unbespeakable is left open so that we
all may follow; and let us so live that
when our summons come we may meet
her in that blessed realm of eternity,
w here the sundered ties of earth are
re-united.
